Still love this book and I recomend it, it's fantastic. Also, it's great for a person like me, I love peaches.

This story is about a little boy called James that lived with his two awful aunts. One day an enormous peach started growing from the tree because Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker had a peach tree in the horrible house of his aunts. But one day James went flying on that mammoth peach with lots of seagulls. Do you want to know where he landed? Where did he stay to live? Who with? I enjoyed this book because I liked James, the main character because he is powerful, with lots of courage. He is a very good person with a nice personality. My favorite part was the end. I recommend this book to anyone who is an adventurous person who is 9 or 10 years old and loves eating peaches.

This story is about a small boy called James Henry Trotter. He lived with with his mother and father but they were eaten by an angry rhino.So James had to live with his disgusting aunts. Will James like it there? If he doesn't, who will help him escape? The part I liked the most was when James saw the peach growing. I liked this story because James had fun for the first time in his life. My favourite part was when James saw the giant insects. I liked the way Roald Dahl writes because of all the adjectives he uses. I recommend this book to you if you like adventures. It’s suitable for children who are between 8-10.

Great book! I like the part when the peach fell into the ocean and people were trying to help them.

The cover is so awe good writing writers I wish I was a bot that dos the picture and it's fun

Awesome! Awesome!

James an the Giant Peach is really good. It was funny but kind of hard to picture. The aunts seem really mean. I feel bad for James.

Best book ever I read this book in 4th grade we read it out load my favorite scene is where he meets the bugs.
